Although funnel clouds were spotted in Broomfield and Southwest Weld County on Tuesday, the National Weather Service only confirmed one tornado touchdown in Firestone.

“There was a touchdown at 5:11 p.m., but it was brief,” said Bob Kleyla, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “The funnel in Broomfield stayed aloft. It never touched down.”

Broomfield resident Dan Pacheco said he could see the funnel cloud about 5 miles from his home at the intersection of 120th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard at 4:45 p.m.

“At first we weren’t sure what it was, but then we saw a funnel pointed sideways,” he said. “We watched it grow, and then my daughter said, ‘Look, it’s spinning.'”

Pacheco said the funnel lasted for about 10 minutes, then became vertical and disappeared.

Tornado warnings were in effect until 6 p.m. for Greeley, Johnstown, Gilcrest and Phillips County and until 5:15 p.m. for northwestern Adams County, southwestern Weld County and eastern Broomfield County in northeast Colorado. During the storm warnings, local authorities said funnel clouds were spotted and hail up to 2 inches in diameter was also reported.

No injuries or serious damage have been reported.

Kleyla said Wednesday’s weather will be cooler with a chance of rain, but that the threat for severe weather will be lower.
